Loot cards into location decks


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


An interesting situation came up in my group yesterday. What happens if you shuffle a loot card into a location deck (from the Harbor "when closing" for example) and later encounter it? It's doesn't have a check to acquire, or any text for when you encounter it.

Do you acquire it automatically, does it get banished, or is loot just not an applicable card to shuffle into location decks?

I assume this Harbor location is an S&S location that does something like shuffles a card from your hand into a random location deck when it closes? The vast majority of people here aren't going to know what you're talking about.

I'd say it sucks, but you just lost a Loot card. No check to acquire (BotG specifically says to auto acquire).


I didn't repeat the wording because it wasn't really relevant. All that's important is that you can shuffle a loot card in.

But actually I checked the rules, and it does account for this possibility : "If a loot card ends up in a location deck, you automatically acquire it when you encounter it."

So I figured it out... I just assumed it wouldn't be in the rules for some reason. I guess the design team thought through everything already :P
